#### **Step 1: Prepare the Matcha**
In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with 1/4 cup hot water until smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
#### **Step 2: Heat the Coconut Mixture**
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
Stir gently and heat until warm but not boiling.
#### **Step 3: Dissolve the Agar Agar or Gelatin**
- **For Agar Agar**: Sprinkle the agar agar powder over the warm coconut mixture, whisking continuously. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to activate the agar.
- **For Gelatin**: Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water in a separate bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then stir into the warm coconut mixture until fully dissolved.
#### **Step 4: Combine & Strain**
Stir the prepared matcha into the coconut mixture, whisking until evenly incorporated.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps for a smooth texture.
#### **Step 5: Pour & Chill**
Divide the mixture evenly into ramekins or serving glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
#### **Step 6: Serve & Garnish**
To unmold, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate (or serve directly in the ramekins).
Garnish with shredded coconut, fresh berries, or a dusting of matcha.
